Movies about Media

In view of rapid evolutions in the world of communication, it is hardly surprising that contemporary cinema has come to increasingly focus on new technology and on social media. In this area you can explore how films have narrated various forms of mass communication since the 20s. For example, in “Citizen Kane” computers, smartphones and video games were yet to be invented but it's interesting to notice manipulation and control dynamics have remained unchanged: movies like “The Fifth Estate” and “Nightcrawler” define the evolution of journalism. “The Social Network” deserves a mention in virtue of its courageous attempt to describe one of the major media revolutions of the new millennium, in real time.
